I read somewhere where i guy had said he had heard it didn't work, but he wasn't sure. Does that help. LOL

Gee, Thanks guys. :)

I kinda like the Phoenix Demo but this is what it says about the Esky TX - "E-sky (Mini-DIN adaptor required)"

I think they're talking about the USB cord that plugs into the back of the Tx, but then it says - "E-Sky (not USB controller version)"

I don't like it enough to have to buy a $300 Tx to use it.

With the sim you get a USB dongle for it that fits JR/spektrum transmitter - i belive the bit they are mentioning there is just a small adaptor to change from JR to E-sky. That should be cheap too.
Pheonix sim is well worth it.

Yes, you only need to buy this $10 adapter (http://www.ekmpowershop4.com/ekmps/shops/phoenixrc/mini-din-esky-copilot-etc-5-p.asp) with the sim to use the Esky Tx. The bit about the USB controller means the one that comes with the Esky simulator package.

Thanks guys.

Just looked at your link Mika, if that's all I need I think I'm gonna go ahead and get it.

I like my ClearView a lot, it's really helped and the Belt model for it is really good but I just built a new computer and watching the Phoenix demo in Hi-res on the new LCD was pretty cool.

I went over to my LHS and played around with the full version for awhile.

It doesn't have a Belt model, but the Trex 450 model flew amazing like my Exi.

Unfortunately the Phoenix at my LHS is quite pricey and I'll probably end up getting one off the net.
